Written from the Census figures on this page. Commute flows, distances and jobs are Census LEHD 2024, primary jobs only (the self-employed aren’t counted); commute time and working from home are from the Census American Community Survey; with 564 working residents, small shifts move the shares.

On income, poverty and job access, Bloomfield Township is better than 11% of U.S. towns. Household income holds Bloomfield Township’s grade up ($62,721, U.S. $80,734); job access by car pulls it down (ahead of 13% of U.S. towns).
